4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

 a. Brief Overview of Change: This amends ADC 384 to establish Defense Logistics 

Management Standards (DLMS) procedures for additional Special Programs in support of DLA 

Energy Convergence Project, where the requisitioner is neither a Federal Agency nor a DoD 

entity. This change modifies the DoDAAC series to identify DLA Energy Aerospace 

Commercial and University customers from “2AC” and “2AU” to a single “2A” series. This 

change replaces ADC 384C in its entirety; it retains all information previously published, adds 

additional exclusion values, and clarifies the implementation timeline. Significant changes to 

ADC 384C are highlighted in yellow.

 b. Background: 

 (1) Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy (formerly Defense Energy Support 

Center) offers a large array of energy related support for the federal government, facilitating 

storage and deployment of fuel and other energy sources. 

 (2) DLA Energy also provides support to organizations with special programs where 

the requisitioner is neither a Federal Agency nor a DOD entity. One such program is established 

by Public Law 105-303, the Commercial Space Act of 1998, to promote the development of the 

emerging human space flight industry. 

 (3) The Act defines: 

 (a) ‘Administrator’ as the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA). 

 (b) ‘Commercial provider’ as any person or entity providing space transportation 

services or other space-related activities, primary control of which is held by persons other than 

Federal, State, local, and foreign governments. 

 (c) ‘Space-related activities’ to include research and development, manufacturing, 

processing, service, and other associated support activities. 

 (4) In the Act, the Congress declared that the use of the free market principle in 

operating, servicing, allocating, and adding capabilities to the Space Station, and the resulting 

fullest possible engagement of commercial providers, as defined, will reduce the Space Station 

operational costs for all partners including the Federal Government’s burden to the United States 

to fund these operations. 

 (5) For the purpose of this ADC, requisitioners that would receive a “2A” construct 

DoDAAC under this Program are limited to DLA Energy customers that are not DOD or Federal 

Agencies are DLA Aerospace Commercial and University customers. DLA Energy customers 

who already have a valid DoDAAC assigned by their Component for use by DLA Energy will 

not use a “2A” DoDAAC. 

 

 (6) Extending the benefits the federal government derives from its purchasing power 

with the cost savings resulting from volume purchases on missile fuels will ease engaging these 

commercial customers in the development of the human space flight industry. 

 (7) DLA Energy is currently transitioning its operations from legacy systems to the 

Enterprise Business System (EBS), used by DLA and all its sub-divisions. EBS requires 

DoDAACs or Military Assistance Program Activity Codes (MAPACs) as the means with which 

to identify its customers for billing, shipping, etc., in accordance with DOD policy. 
Page 3 Attachment, ADC 384D 

 (8) DLA Energy Aerospace Commercial, University and National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA) customers are currently assigned a local code resembling a 

DoDAAC. These are locally created and are not registered at DLA Transaction Services. 

NASA is a federal agency and has assigned DoDAACs, which should be used; Commercial and 

University customers require special program DoDAACs. DoDAAC series “2A” has already 

being been assigned to DLA Energy. 

 (9) The currently used, locally assigned numbers have a “T” in the first position, which. 

Per DLM 4000.25-1 MILSTRIP, “T” is reserved for Security Assistance use only in constructing 

a MAPAC. The practice of using locally assigned “T” identifiers for another use is not 

compliant with this policy, causing which causes the transactions to fail Defense Automatic 

Addressing System edits and be rejected. 

 (10) To help facilitate the Energy Convergence implementation plan, DLA Energy 

requested a specific series for contractors under this program that would require the requisite 

contractor data to create the DoDAAC. The “2AB” series was thus designated as the construct 

that would be used to denote contractors under this program. 

 c. Proposed Change in Detail: 

 (1) Designate DoDAAC series “2AC” for Commercial customers, “2AU” for 

University “2A” for special program customers served by DLA Energy, and delete series “2AC” 

and “2AU,” as these will be part of DLA’s internal DoDAAC assignment logic. 

 (2) DLA Transaction Services and DLA Energy establish edits for “2AC” and “2AU” 

“2A” series DoDAACs to replace submitter’s Fund Code with Fund Code XP, requiring 

noninterfund billing and advise the submitter using status code BK. 

 (3) DLA include all taxes and surcharges for purchases into the price of the materiel at 

the time the order is created. 

 (4) DLA DoDAAC Central Service Point designates DoDAAC monitors to manage the 

“2AC” and “2AU” “2A” series DoDAACs and amend appointment letters accordingly. 

 (5) DLA Transaction Services revise the DoDAAC Central Service Point/Monitor 

listing to indicate that “2A” series DoDAACs are assigned to DLA Special Programs. 

 (6) DLA Transaction Services modify the DoDAAD update application to require 

contractor fields (i.e., Contract Number, CAGE Code, and Contract Expiration Date) for the 

“2AB” series DoDAACs. 

 (7) Uniform Materiel Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS) priorities 8, 10, 

and15, which correspond to Force or Activity Designator V and Urgency of Need A, B, and C, 

are authorized. 

 d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: None noted. 
Page 4 Attachment, ADC 384D 

 e. Proposed Transaction Flow: There are no new routing rules. 

 f. Alternatives: None noted. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: Complies with DOD policy for DoDAAC assignment. With 

the addition of DLA Energy business into EBS, data elements and transaction information needs 

to be introduced in DLMS transactions to provide DLA Energy Commercial, University and 

customers a means to input, submit, and receive sales and billing information. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages: Allows for recognition of DLA Energy customer DoDAACs as non-DoD 

or non-Federal DoDAACs for DLA Transaction Services edits, internal controls, and internal 

DLA transactional exchange. 

 b. Disadvantages: None Noted. 

7. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: None noted. 

8. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: DLA Energy needs these 

changes as soon as possible so that orders that have been placed by DLA Energy Aerospace 

Commercial and University customers can be billed immediately. 

9. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Implementation of these special purpose 

DoDAACs will result in the ability to account for and bill sales made to these Commercial and 

University DLA Energy customers in EBS. 

10. IMPACT: 

 a. New DLMS Data Elements: No new DLMS Data Elements. 

 b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: No changes to DLMS Data Elements. Remove 

2AC and 2AU from Logistics Qualifier 71 in LOGDRMS. 

 c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): AIS is not impacted by this change. DLA’s 

Customer Master database will need to reflect these changes. 

 d. DLA Transaction Services: These special purpose DoDAACs will need to be loaded 

and maintained at DLA Transaction Services. Modify the DoDAAD Update Application to 

require contractor fields (i.e., Contract Number, CAGE Code, and Contract Expiration Date) for 

the “2AB” series DoDAACs. 

 e. Non-DLA Logistics Management Standards Publications: This change will have no 

effect on current publications. DLA will need to review its policies and procedures to ensure the 

constructs established in this change are incorporated as necessary.
